Re: MIKE -funny story--not even remotely cf-related

[Guest guest]

, that was a pretty good one. And I had not heard it when the

following occurred " For the 7th time a local proseletysing religious group

represented by

two prudish-appearing women, in coats up to the neck in 85 degreee weather,

knocked on my door for what was to be the last time--at 7:30 a.m. By some

miracle

I was in the bathtub. I got out, grabbed my bathsheet, peered through the

door

peep-hole and THERE THEY WERE AGAIN! So, I did NOT put my bathsheet

arround me, just opened the door, and said, " We have previously spoken, have

we

not? " They nodded, and have not been seen anywhere on the apartment complex

of three buildings since! And, honest, I had not even heard of your

account!

Love to you, , and your strength, and that of your friends,
